Mao Zedong: Ow! Or Wow? 44 Days Radio Sinoland Show 15.5.1

Join Jeff in Beijing for his 44 Days Radio Sinoland Show. He discusses news and events about China, at home and around the world – information you almost never see and hear behind the Great Western Firewall. China is way too important to not have an insider’s perspective on how its leaders and people are shaping and moving the 21st century. This show clocks in at 27 minutes, so you can get on with your day.

Today’s show is titled, “Mao Zedong: Ow! Or Wow?” For years, Jeff has been perplexed as to why in the West, Mao Zedong is reviled as a mass murdering butcher, a veritable 20th century monster of unparalleled proportions, yet just as universally, he is loved and admired by today’s Chinese. How can this incredible dichotomy exist? What’s going on? Knowing that he needed to find out, in order to do justice to his current book project, “Red Letters – The Diaries of Xi Jinping”, Jeff did weeks of research and investigation to find out, including spending hours in local museums, and was stunned at all that he learned. You will be too. This is a show you do not want to miss.
